They’ve been doing their homework at Windsor Sonoma to judge by this Cab, which is a vast improvement over past releases. It’s a pleasure to drink now for its rich, forward flavors of cherries, blackberries, currants and cocoa, soft tannins, and lush overlay of caramelized oak. It finishes sweetly smooth, although it’s technically dry.

This is a firm, dry, minerally Chardonnay. It’s not blockbuster rich, but it is clean and vibrant and elegant. The flinty flavors are enriched with notes of pineapples and green apples, while oak and lees give hints of buttered toast and sour cream. A very fine, food-friendly wine that sommeliers should be aware of.

A very nice wine for the price. It’s bone dry and high in acidity, with a crisp tartness that’s just what you want in Sauvignon Blanc. The flavors are pleasant, of oranges, citrons, limes and green apples.

A big, voluptuous Cabernet, brimming with ripe blackberries, plums, mocha, cedar, and a chewy, tangy meaty taste, like beef jerky. Solid, soft and easy to drink.

This has orange, pineapple and green apple flavors that are accented by oaky caramel. Balanced with crisp, citrusy acidity, this should pair well with rich shellfish fare. Drink now.
